In this fourth week we look at the third calling of our lives: to Become. Its like a Marathon to Growing up, because the Bible compares becoming to running a
race. Looking at chapter 12 of the book of Hebrews we'll look at eight principles that
will help us to run this race well and become the person that God made
us to be.We looked at the story of 89 year old Bryan who recently ran a touchdown as an example of staying in the game of life...even risking doing something new.

Called to be Loved is Week 2 of our series What On Earth Am I Here For?
To really understand our purpose in life, it all starts with God's nature.
God is love, and everything was created as an object of his love. Beginning with Ephesians 1:4-5 we learn that our first purpose
in life is to be loved by God. We also will see what changes that can
happen in our lives if we stay aware of God's constant love for us. Our response to God's love: Worship.Two videos that are referenced in this podcast: Malaki Paul - Britians Got Talent 2012 Matt Redman talks with Diane Jordan on BBC2 - Heart of Worship
